Chapter 438: Three Triagements

After getting rid of Sheng Weiqiao, it was Rong Sleeping Crane's turn.

Compared with the gentleness and kindness of his own girls, this kind of bastard who tries to abduct the pearl in his palm will naturally not get a very good face...... Sheng Lan ordered someone to "ask the king of Mizhen County to come and talk alone", the atmosphere in the hall has quickly become tense, and the elders are all as cold as water, their eyes are as cold as stars, and they are particularly murderous!

"Dad, mother!" so that Rong Sleepy Crane, who had come over with apprehension after a while, was stopped when he entered the door, and was stunned before he cautiously stepped forward to salute and greeted one by one, "Grandfather, grandmother, uncle......"

Old lady Feng and the others were silent, drinking tea, looking at him condescendingly and greeting everyone present, before saying slowly: "The king of the county is really tormenting us by doing this, after all, you and Qiao'er haven't done it yet, where can you follow her to call people? If it spreads, won't it ruin Qiao'er's reputation?"

"Grandfather Mingjian, I am in love with the obedient girl, if a few elders can be fulfilled, so I follow the obedient girl to call you, wouldn't it be a good story?" Rong Sleeping Crane immediately hit the snake with the stick when he heard the words, "The elders are all deaf and clear-sighted, when they know that I don't get along much with the Gaomi Palace, there are quite gaps, if you talk about relatives, in fact, I look at the relatives of the obedient women, but they are more cordial than my own blood relatives! If the name is determined early, I will be more righteous and filial to you, right?"

Seeing this, Old Lady Feng glanced at Old Madam Zhan and exchanged a tacit look: This kid is even more shameless than Qiao'er and her father back then!

At that time, when the Feng family summoned Sheng Lanci, although Sheng Lanci also asked the Feng family to fulfill himself and Feng Yulu, and promised to be filial piety and respect to the Feng family, but what people said was a tactful and decent, which was like a sleeping crane, and it was a bit difficult to diverge the topic if people wanted to go around in circles with him!

"You're different from other young talents who want to marry our Jo'er. However, since these of them as elders have chosen today's showdown, of course they are also prepared, and at this time, Xuan Yu Feng took over the topic and said coldly, "You know something about the Sheng family, the Feng family, and our Xuan Yu family. You should know Qiao'er's status among the three powerful families in Nanfeng County, and it is not a lie to say that it is the pearl of the three families!"

"So Qiao'er's marriage was also decided by the three of us through discussion, do you have an opinion on this?"

Her words have a deep meaning, and the first sentence of her mouth seems to explain the special nature of Rong Sleeping Crane, but in fact, it is even more suggesting to him, first, there is definitely more than one person who wants to marry Sheng Weiqiao, and second, there are many young talents among these people.

After implicitly striking Rong Sleeping Crane, he then emphasized Sheng Weiqiao's favor, and that there is not only a Sheng family behind it, but the three powerful families of Nanfeng County to rely on, which is by no means comparable to ordinary rich girls.

Finally, the conditions are stated: If Rong Sleeping Crane wants to marry Sheng Weiqiao, he must be jointly approved by the Sheng family, the Feng family, and the Xuan Yu family!

There is a family that has an opinion about him, and they can't talk about it!

"What my aunt said is my blessing to be able to get the kindness of the elders, I can't ask for it, how can I have opinions?" Rong Sleeping Crane saw that the future was difficult, his heart was awe-inspiring, but his face became more and more respectful, and his eyebrows also showed a heartfelt gentleness and willingness, and he said very sensibly, "Auntie, please just give orders!"

Xuan Yu Feng's pretending to be a white face today, and he was not polite when he heard the words, so he said: "There is a saying in the market, marry a man and marry a man, dress and eat." It's vulgar, but it's also true. Although you are now the king of the county, according to what I have heard, your annual salary as the king of the county is spent seriously, that is, it is a matter of three or two months. ”

"This is not counting the expenses of the huge county palace, as well as the favors of people during the New Year's holidays!"

"So you want to marry Qiao'er, let me ask you first: Can you afford it?"

Speaking of this, she sneered, her eyes were as sharp as knives, for fear that Rong Sleeping Crane would not be able to see the meanness of the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, "Of course, my Qiao'er will have a dowry, and everyone knows that this dowry will not be less!...... Do you plan to let my family raise herself and raise her own children after she leaves the cabinet, and by the way, even you and your mansion doormen?"

"In that case, why do we want to give Qiao Er to you? Why don't we recruit a son-in-law for her?"

"If you get into the bag, in the future, if your son-in-law dares to move the intestines, it will be convenient for us to clean up?"

"It's embarrassing to be just for the title of princess of the county?!"

Xuan Yu Feng picked up the tea bowl and blew the tea foam, nodded slightly to Rong Sleeping Crane, signaling that his question was over, and it was time for him to give an answer.

"Auntie, don't speak dark words in front of the Ming people. Rong Sleepy Crane groaned for a moment, raised his head and smiled, "Although I am now the official canonized county king of the imperial court, what did I do before, whether it is my aunt or the elders, I also know it in my heart? ”

"Naturally, the savings of Tortoiseshell Island are abundant. Xuan Yu Feng looked pleasant, but his words were still frank and sharp, "However, you are just the righteous son of the Gongsun family, and the old sea lord of Gongsun is also familiar with our group, we know very well what he is, but he is not the kind of generosity that will treat the righteous son as his own flesh and blood, right?"

"Of course, we all know that the Gongsun clan has been looking forward to Zhao'an for more than a day or two, and most of you want to get rid of this matter when you go south this time!"

"If you plan to take the opportunity to claim the accumulation of the Gongsun clan over the years, you do have the capital to continue to pamper our family Qiao Er after getting married. ”

Rong Sleepy Crane smiled: "Aunt misunderstood! The Gongsun clan has a great favor to me, how can I covet the family property left by my father-in-law to my brother-in-law?"

"Then the savings you are talking about?" Xuan Yu Feng raised his eyebrows.

"I was lucky enough to be the leader of the Wuyi Battalion for a few years. Rong Sleeping Crane said calmly, "The elders should know that the Wuyi Battalion is in the hands of the Gongsun Clan, and it has always done things to attack fortifications, and the casualty rate has always been high. And the sea is not connected to the king, this kind of desperate errand cannot be driven by kindness and righteousness alone, and it must be done with sufficient benefits. ”

He said slowly, "So the old sea lord stipulates that every time the Wuyi battalion goes on a mission, the money and silk obtained can be taken seventy percent for backup. If successful, return to Tortoiseshell Island with the added benefit. is the so-called murder and arson gold belt, so although my savings can't be compared with the Gongsun family, there is no problem in pampering the future princess of the county. ”

Xuan Yu Feng exchanged glances with the others, and after a while, she spoke again: "But the place where you will spend money in the future should be more than just supporting your family, right?"

"What you said is what you said!" The old lady of the Feng family stroked the long beard under her chin and took over the conversation amiably, "Although we people have been fighting Nanfeng County, we also know a little about the situation in the court in the past two years! As the bloodline of King Gaomi, whether the county king wants to or not, since you return to the palace, there is no way to avoid this pool of troubled waters!"

"And how can there be a party struggle that doesn't cost money?"

The old lady asked with a smile, "So the things you saved in the Wuyi camp are enough to support us Qiao'er, but once you participate in Ling Zun's great cause, I'm afraid it will hang, right?"

Or do you want to use this gimmick to trick us into marrying the girl to you, not only will you have to use the silver to fight with the Meng family, but you may also have to talk to the three of us when you turn around, so that the three of us will look at the girl's face and act as the money bag of King Gaomi?!

"Since you elders have talked about this issue, I also want to tell you elders: I don't plan to participate in the great cause of King Gaomi!" Rong Sleeping Crane heard the sharpness under Old Lady Feng's kind questioning, he groaned, raised his head, and said calmly, "So I won't give him a penny either!"

"Oh?" Old Lady Feng's smile froze, and Sheng Lanci and the others were also taken aback!

"You all go down!" After a short silence, the old lady squinted, pointed to his two sons and daughters-in-law, and then looked at the eldest daughter, but Xuan Yu Feng sat on the eight winds and raised his eyebrows: "I want to listen!"

The old lady had no choice but to instruct his two sons and two daughters-in-law, "You go and guard outside, and no one is allowed to approach!"

Sheng Lanci also glanced at Sheng Lanzi and his wife, the couple had always been interesting and sensible, and they got up and retired without saying a word.

However, Le and Wu were a little unhappy when they heard this, but their husbands knew it, so they quickly stood up and dragged his wife outward, and whispered while dragging: "Dad, this is for our good!"

The old lady Feng, who was born in a time-honored family, has always had a long-term vision, which can be seen from the fact that a steward of the Feng family was ordered to go to Chang'an to inspect the future uncle, and he was able to catch up with the Shu sisters.

At this time, Mrs. Feng ordered her son and daughter-in-law to avoid it, which seemed to be distrust of her son and daughter-in-law, but in fact it was a kind of protection: if the next thing to be said was not suitable for the Feng family to participate, Feng Ye and Feng Yin brothers just avoided it, and there was room to clear up if something went wrong in the future; if they could participate, Old Lady Feng could still tell their son and daughter-in-law after they went back.

"The king of the county should know that once the king of Gaomi fails, your fate. After watching the door close again, Old Lady Feng said in a deep voice, "And you said that you don't plan to help the prince next, this?"

Rong Sleeping Crane said calmly: "Born on Tortoiseshell Island, he has always been who does it, and he has no noble character of making wedding clothes for others. ”

Old Lady Feng and the others quickly exchanged glances, and the old lady continued: "It's a good thing for young people to have ambitions, but they must also be down-to-earth. Whether it is King Lingzun Gaomi or the Meng family, they are all in the court and the opposition, and they have deep roots...... If you are unwilling to make wedding clothes for others, in the future, if the Meng family wins, he may not be willing to let you go; if Ling Zun practices Zuo, even if he thinks of the love between father and son, he will let you go, but you will not escape the fate of being separated from your hands and siblings and being sent to the fence. In that case, we can't let Jo'er follow you into that situation!"

"In fact, I have to go this way. Rong Sleeping Crane said happily, "With the vision and well-informed knowledge of the elders, you should know that the prince of Gaomi is deeply favored by King Gaomi, but his talents are mediocre! Unless King Gaomi is willing to appoint me as the young master, even if I am willing to marry someone, he will not escape suspicion in the future! In this case, why should I waste time and energy to consolidate the powerful position of King Gaomi and his son? It is better to take advantage of the stalemate between King Gaomi and the Meng clan to find another way!"

"What are you going to do?" the old lady's expression did not move, but there was a glint in her eyes, "You should know, let us hesitate whether we should marry Qiao Er to you, the most important point is that your future is closely related to the future situation in the court." And the Meng clan has been confronting King Gaomi for many years, at least for now, no one can be sure of victory or defeat. ”

"Originally, you helped King Gaomi, although as you said, because you are not the eldest son, and the elder brother is mediocre, even if His Majesty Emperor Taizu will inherit the throne in the future, the future is unpredictable, and it is enough to make us hesitate!"

"Now you even want to start your own...... You need to know how big the risk is. ”

"And Qiao'er, as the common pearl of the three of us, was born well, why should we let her follow you and take such a risk?!"
